Inventor: Vincent Loentgen
IPC: F16L1/24
Filed: 2016-05-20
Abstract: A method of filling a chamber with buoyant macrospheres 10 comprises placing a mass of the spheres into a mould cavity 24.

Title: Embedded computing device
Inventor: ERIK LINDMAN
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2015-04-17
Abstract: First less power consuming processing core PU1 controls a display DISP via first display interface in phase 430. A second more power consuming core PU2 also controls display DISP via a second interface in phase 410. After a trigger in phase 420, first core PU1 causes second core PU2 to enter or leave hibernation 450 in phases 440 and 470, respectively. The second core is interfaced with cellular communications circuitry and leaves hibernation when its communications capability is required. It also leaves hibernation when graphics modes not supported by the first core are required or when a need for it is predicted to occur. Context is stored upon transition into hibernation. Both cores are interfaced with a shared random access memory. Hibernation state is generated via zero clock frequency. Intermediate low power states allowing faster transitions to an active state are disclosed. Used for conserving battery in embedded devices, e.g. smartphones.

Title: Post-manufacture generation of device certificate and private key for public key infrastructure
Inventor: CHRIS LORESKAR
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-09-01
Abstract: Certificate generating apparatus 40 obtains a first key associated to electronic device 2, e.g. an embedded seed key 42. From the first key a second key 22 is derived. A device certificate 20 is generated where the second key is a public key 22 for the device for public key infrastructure (PKI). The first key, e.g. an uncertified symmetrical key identical to a corresponding one held by the device, can be obtained from a manufacturer receipt. The device certificate is generated without transmitting public 22 or private 24 key between device 2 and certificate generating apparatus 40. The device certificate (e.g. X.509) is served stored, where file path to its location is device identifier dependent 50. The file path is obfuscated with an obfuscation key and the first key discarded after storing. Device manufacturing costs are reduced whilst still enabling use of PKI. Uses include Internet‑OF‑Things (IoT) devices. Also claimed is a method for generating a private key derived from a first key of an electronic device and made available to the device to sign a subsequent message to be verified to the PKI.

Title: Collaborative robot system
Inventor: MARTIN KNOTT
IPC: B25J13/08
Filed: 2019-03-27
Abstract: A system for robot and human collaboration comprises a multi-axis robot 102, torque sensors 141-146 to measure torque about a respective axes 121-126 of the robot 102 and a controller 108 which receives measurements from the torque sensors 141-146, compares the torque measurements or a function of the torque measurements to a threshold value and controls the robot 102 based on the comparison. If the torque measurement or the function of the torque measurement is determined to be below the threshold value the controller 108 causes the measured torque or the function to increase to a higher value below the threshold by increasing the speed of movement of the robot 102 and/or adjusting a path of the robot 102. If the torque measurement or the function of the torque measurement is determined to be above the threshold value the controller 108 decreases the speed of movement of the robot 102. The torque sensors 141-146 may be used by the controller 108 to determine a collision or impact between the robot 102 and an object e.g. a human 104 in response to which the controller 108 may cause robot to slow or stop or to move away from the object.
